Re: Saving Seats Epidemic

Bids must be submitted by the night before via a certified cashiers check. All procedes are divided to the Dean's List finalist scholarship (or other charity). If teams do not submit a bid, then they are in with general admission that starts after the final bidding team.

This would put a real tangible value on how much teams want good seats other than waking up at 3 AM to stand in front of a door that will open at 7am... Or... (think black friday madness).
But that would give an unfair advantage to the rich teams.

Oh wait, wrong thread
